ALBUM OF THE WEEK

Susie and Barry are frankie readers (which is nice) and they run a little website called album of the week. They’re music nerds, but not in an off-putting way, and they review albums new and old, each of which can be loved in its own special way. Here’s how they explain their mission: “Each week we feature an album that might make a good friend for you – someone you’ll want to hang out with or maybe be reacquainted with.” And that’s pretty much it. Lo-tech, non-pretentious and friendly writing. Like having a good conversation with a friend who’s more switched on about music than you. Good stuff.
